I heard it was 50 shows, which is just...insane. And so, I thought that just meant 23,000 people bought tickets to all 50 shows.
23,000 crazy people,

Larry King even cancelled a planned show on Farrah Fawcett's life so he could concentrate on Michael Jackson instead (well, I'm spreading rumours now, I don't know this for a fact).
Are we so different from the rest of society? Or is the media completely lost to us now?
I know how the boys of South Park felt in
Elementary School Musical
